Nearly all funds in the Thrift Savings Plan ended in the red for July, though not
enough to mar what has been a positive year, according to the latest data from the
Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, which manages the TSP.

The only fund to escape the downturn was the stable G Fund, invested in treasury
securities, which saw 0.19 percent growth over the past month.

The biggest loser was the S Fund, invested in small cap stocks, showing a drop of
4.38 percent. But, 12 month gains for the S Fund are still above 13 percent. All
other losses were less than 2 percent for the month.
